Abstract:

Janice Lindgren Schultz had a distinguished career at one of the most well-known genealogical libraries in the United States. Her years at the Midwest Genealogy Center in Independence, Kansas, more than prepared her to write Helping Patrons Find Their Roots: A Genealogy Handbook for Librarians. Schultz focuses on all areas of genealogy research and her coverage is exhaustive. She begins with the purposes and methods of research, followed by a detailed consideration of all kinds of records useful to genealogists. She ably explains the importance of the proof and reliability of resources standards used by expert genealogists.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe and evaluate the role played by digital libraries in Polish society, particularly in relation to users who are not in education or professionally engaged in academic work. Design/methodology/approach – Results are presented from a survey of non-academic users, identified as one of the key groups of digital library users in an exploratory survey in 2008-2009. The targeted survey was carried out by sending e-mails to persons who had supplied their addresses in the first survey or had set up accounts with the Digital Library of Wielkopolska. Analysis was also made of e-mail correspondence between digital library users and librarians, and data from digital library server logs, during 2008-2013. Findings – The research provided three interesting results. The first is that the creation of digital libraries in Poland has caused a significant number of people to pursue an interest in genealogical or local historical research. The second result is that the evaluations of digital libraries made by non-academics do not differ significantly from those made by students and academics. The third is the fact that at present, approximately 50 per cent of digital library users in the non-academic category are over 50 years of age. Originality/value – This is the first comprehensive study on the use of digital libraries in Poland by non-academic users. It shows what role digital libraries play, and to what extent, in the stimulation of cultural activity in Polish society.

Abstract:

Archival records now in the custody of Australian State and Federal Archives were created by public servants in the normal course of their work. For the most part it was not envisaged that these records would continue to be used by future researchers. This paper looks at how indexing is a means of opening up greater access to archival records, and the challenges that archival indexing poses to both archives and libraries, and private individuals and genealogical societies who publish indexes for researchers.

Abstract:

The popularity of genealogical research is linked to the growth of online genealogy services such as Ancestry.com, which, as of 2020, has over three million paid subscribers. Another 18 million people have taken genetic ancestry tests through the company’s subsidiary, AncestryDNA. This article interrogates how Ancestry presents information on race and ethnicity to users, asking if it is possible for researchers to build a critical racial identity using Ancestry’s services. Applying an understanding of whiteness that comes from critical race studies, the article examines the way race, and whiteness in particular, is presented in the business’s marketing, web features, and products such as AncestryDNA. These examinations reveal a company selling customers family history narratives that comport with the mythology of American egalitarianism, while at the same time essentializing race and ethnicity. The implications of these findings are significant for information professionals because Ancestry relies on partnerships with libraries and archives to supply material for the website’s research database. These partnerships compel archivists and librarians to scrutinize Ancestry’s information ethics. The article calls for further discussion and research into how information professionals can be agents for change in how race and ethnicity are treated in online genealogy spaces.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the possibilities of using information systems and databases in auxiliary historical disciplines teaching. Particular attention is paid to paleography and genealogy internet resources which were created by Russian archives and libraries. The most important method of research applied in this study is the historical and comparative method, which identifies the most successful digital resources in auxiliary history disciplines in terms of scholarly execution and pedagogical use. Digitization of monuments of Russian writing of the XI-XVIII centuries generated a number of resources prepared by the National Library of Russia. The project “Russian autographs. Russian writing monuments in the collections of the Russian National Library Manuscripts Department” is of great importance for students on paleography as a source of additional information. Electronic copies of some monuments with their scientific description, transcription and translation can be used in practical classes, independent study and students' knowledge and skills testing. Russian archives create databases which permit the search for files related to genealogical issues and provide access to electronic images of historical sources. Such resources allow to form the skills of information search in databases and research family history. However, there are currently no internet resources with fully developed methodological tools.

Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to identify and structure the source base of genealogical research on the history of science and to clarify the role of information and communication technologies in the development of the digitalization of scientific research. Research methods. The analysis, characterization and classification of the representative source base of the outlined topic of scientific research based on the use of a conglomerate of general scientific and specific research methods, which together ensured the holistic nature of the study of the scientific problem. The main tools of the research methodology include the following methods: historical and comparative, problematic and chronological, historical and typological, historical and systematic; the method of diachronic analysis and generalization, analogy, synthesis, analysis, and formal logic. The involvement of methodological tools in the scientific study of the problem stated the fixation of the content vectors of the study, which were carried out on the principles of historicism, objectivity, systematicity, and comprehensiveness. The choice of a research strategy or the theoretical and methodological basis of the scientific problem, which were involved and implemented in the process of scientific cognition, made it possible to achieve the goal of scientific research. The use of several general scientific and specific historical methods of scientific research contributed to obtaining new results in the disclosure of this topic. The methodology of oral history, particularly the method of interviewing, has proven to be a valuable tool for scientific research in the context of genealogical research. This approach aims to generalize the testimonies and memories of people who participated in the events directly. The interview method makes it possible to record historical events and their perception from the perspective of specific individuals. Memories are the product of personal thoughts, emotions, and reflections on past events. This individual experience contributes significantly to the understanding and personalization of history. It also enhances the depth and reliability of genealogical studies, adding individual testimonies and personal experiences that enrich the research. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it is for the first time that an attempt has been made to structure information sources on genealogy, which made it possible to form a representative source base for research on the history of science, to determine the effectiveness of Ukrainian scientists, and to substantiate the significance of scientific achievements. Conclusions. The article deals with the algorithm for forming the representativeness of the source base of genealogical research in the history of science. The importance of involving family and personal archives, materials from the museum and scientific library collections, genealogical reference publications, and statistical collections of various kinds in the source base of the information search is stated. The necessity of using interview memoirs as a significant part of the source base of genealogical research on the history of science is substantiated. The use of oral history makes it possible to identify a new layer of sources in the reproduction of interpersonal relations, creative interests, and everyday life. It has been found that the use of information and communication technologies is one of the significant components of scientific activity in the twenty-first century. The necessity of expanding the range of electronic services in archival, library and museum institutions is argued. Digitalization of archives and libraries is an important factor in ensuring the sustainable development of these research centres. The introduction of electronic information services provides access to resources and enables the preservation of scientific heritage.

Abstract:

The Brazilian Merganser (Mergus octosetaceus) is one of the rarest birds in South America, and it is a critically endangered Anatidae species with an estimated population of less than 250 adult individuals in the Brazilian Cerrado. A captive population was established a few years ago at Zooparque Itatiba (São Paulo state) where 46 individuals were kept, and the founding population (progenitors derived from nature) was composed of 19 of the ex situ birds, derived from the four remaining localities with wild populations in Brazil. To characterize the genetic diversity and the genealogical relationships of the captive population, it is essential to conduct appropriate ex situ management and to assist future reintroduction projects. Thus, we have identified 425 SNPs by massively parallel sequencing of ddRAD libraries that allowed us to genotype individuals of the captive population. We observed a close relatedness between 70% of the captive population and founding individuals of Jalapão and Alto Paranaiba localities, indicating the need for supplementation with individuals from other areas of Canastra and Veadeiros. Even though many captives present a high level of inbreeding, we have identified some individuals with a high genetic value (less inbred) that can be selected for the breeding program to generate individuals for a future pilot reintroduction project.

Abstract:

The Pelibuey sheep (Ovis aries) is an indigenous breed distributed in the tropical regions of Mexico. The prolificacy of this sheep is on average from 1 to 1.5 lambs, being an important breeding characteristic that owners seek to increase with the purpose of economic improvements. New-generation RNA sequencing technology has been used to identify the genes that are expressed in the ovarian tissue of sheep that have two or more lambs per parturition, as well as to elucidate the metabolic pathways that are affected by the expression of these genes, with the purpose of better understanding the prolificacy in the sheep. In the present study, the transcriptional expression of multiparous and uniparous sheep was compared using RNA sequencing. Multiparous (M group) and uniparous (U group) sheep that had a genealogical record for three generations (M, n = 5 and U, n = 5) were selected. RNA was extracted from ovarian tissue and subsequently used to prepare the libraries that were sequenced using the Illumina NextSeq500 platform. A total of 31,575 genes were detected from the transcriptomic analysis of which 4908 were significantly expressed (p-value ≤ 0.001) in the ovary of sheep. Subsequently, a second filter was carried out to evaluate the false discovery rate (FDR) and select those genes with p-values ≤ 0.05 and values of expression ≥ 1 (log2), obtaining 354 differential expressed genes (DEG): 120 genes up-regulated and 234 genes down-regulated in the group M with respect to the group U. Through Gene Ontology (GO) and metabolic analysis, we obtained information on the function of differentially expressed genes, and its importance in the reproduction of multiparous sheep. This result suggest that genes identified in the present study participate in the development of the final stages of follicles.

Abstract:

Local history and genealogical collections provide valuable information to the public, when adequate reference services and access to the collection are provided. Arranging such access presents numerous challenges for small historical societies and local public libraries that often lack the staffing, training, and resources available to larger organizations. The evolution of digitized records to represent photographic and other records presents even greater obstacles to the staff of small repositories. The Titusville Historical Society presents a useful case study of the decision-making process utilized in determining what directions are most desirable and feasible for small, local repositories. The organization’s makeup, staffing, and resources are overviewed and the digital environment described for similar organizations within its own and five surrounding counties. The Historical Society membership’s goals and abilities are utilized in making a final judgment as to the best process for providing access to collections.

Abstract:

Józef Załuski, the bishop of Kiev and Chernihiv, is a librarian, publisher, writer, translator, commentator, bibliophile, and bibliographer. He acquired printed books and manuscripts for the Załuski Library, which he founded together with his brother, Andrzej Stanisław. He authored 74 editions of his own writings: speeches, poetry, plays, religious pieces as well as didactic, historical, and bibliographical texts; 46 translations, the majority of which are plays, and 17 works which he prepared and ensured the publication of. In addition, manuscript collections in the library of the Załuski brothers were used for numerous editions of historical, genealogical, legal, and literary texts. Apart from printed books, Józef Andrzej Załuski authored an enormous number of books devoted to various subjects and hundreds of letters, which have not yet been printed today. The method of narration adopted by Józef Załuski is literary in its form. The author used, first and foremost, their own experiences as readers. In performing the task of creating a library, and writing a historical literary synthesis, Załuski sought to obtain as much information as possible about all possible releases and manuscripts.The author shared his knowledge about the books in the 56-page Programma Litterarum..., often providing information neither scientific nor confirmed, yet attractive for a potential reader. The comments therein are important both due to the assessments formulated by Załuski and bearing the mark of his style and by indicating the common grounds between texts. The author commands a flowery rhetorical style of late Baroque. Another treatise by Zalusky, Bibliotheca Poetarum Polonorum, qui Patrio sermone scripserunt, was intended for a broader readership solely as a source of information on the condition of Polish literature. The fact that it was written in Latin was intended to make it available for use by a larger group of readers.
